We need volunteers who can commit to one or two in person shifts per week at our holding space located in Woodhaven, Queens.

There are morning, afternoon, and evening shifts available with each being approximately 2-3 hours long depending on what tasks need to be completed for the day.

Responsibilities include cleaning (scooping litter boxes, switching pee pads, washing + refilling food bowls, medium sweeping, mopping), medicating (if needed), playing with cats and taking photos. As a holding space volunteer, you will be entrusted with the duty of providing our feline friends with a clean, healthy, and happy environment. You may also accompany us on trapping and releasing appointments. Volunteers will be trained by one of our staff members before officially starting.

Prior experience with cats/kittens would be a great asset, but it is not required as a position like this is a great way to become familiar with being around cats.

Holding Space Volunteer

We are in need of volunteers that can spread the word about all the wonderful work our team is doing.

As an outreach volunteer, you will be responsible for emailing companies, schools, community organizations, and/or others that can help us reach our goal. This role mainly consists of conducting and compiling research, communicating with representatives and individuals, and writing compelling letters.

We need as much funding and support as possible. With a diverse network of connections, we can accomplish a lot more for the stray cats of NYC.

Outreach Volunteer

On multiple days each week, we have multiple cats/kittens getting spayed/neutered at partner veterinary clinics in Queens and Brooklyn. We also have various trapping and medical appointments scheduled in a given week.

A large part of our expenses goes toward transporting cats, kittens, and ourselves to locations and back.

If you drive a vehicle and are available to assist, please let us know. Spay/neuter drop offs are usually at 7 or 8 AM, and pickups are at 4 or 5 PM depending on the clinic. If you are available more sporadically through the day and not at those specific hours, we could use your help getting to and from other appointments.

Transportation Volunteer

We always need assistance with administrative work.In the midst of all the medical evaluations and emergencies we need to tend to, paperwork gets put on the back burner.

We need volunteers to assist with organizing electronic medical records, log information on a data management system for the hundreds of cats we have fixed and rescued, and follow up with adoption applications. You will be working closely with rescue leadership to organize data and ensure the goals of the rescue are being met. Tasks you can expect to assist with include data entry, bookkeeping, emailing, and phone calling.

These are just a few of the large projects we need assistance with as of now.

Administrative Volunteer

With all the field work that needs to be done on a daily basis, we tend to fall behind with marketing initiatives.

We need volunteers that can assist us with social media, graphic design, merchandising, and event planning.

As of now, we have built a strong presence on Instagram and Tik Tok. We need assistance with compiling footage, doing voice overs, and writing scripts/captions.

We would also like to reach a larger audience through other social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

We are in need of graphic designers who can create graphics and/or artwork for us. We’d like to use the graphics to inform the public about events/projects and sell merchandise to fundraise. We occasionally get medical cases that cost multiple thousands of dollars to evaluate and treat.

Volunteers are needed to promote content and raise awareness through social media platforms and pages like GoFundMe.

There is a lot of creative flexibility that comes with this role.
